ICICI Securities Report

Abbott India Ltd.’s Q1 FY21 performance was strong and it also beat our estimates on all fronts.

Revenue grew 6.5% YoY to Rs 10.6 billion (our estimate Rs 9.5 billion), Ebitda margin grew 450 basis points YoY and 750 basis points QoQ to 21.9% (our estimate14.5%) and adjusted profit after tax grew 54.2% YoY to Rs 1.8 billion (our estimate Rs 1.1 billion).

We believe this growth was supported by the Novo Nordisk India Pvt. Ltd. portfolio in the challenging environment.

We expect pressure in the near term with uncertain elements however, we remain positive on the company considering high visibility of strong growth with its exposure exclusively in domestic formulations, strong balance sheet with deep cash reserves, high return ratios and strong brand equity built over the years.
